The ACHPER (which stands for The Australian Council for Health, Physical Activity, and Recreation) South Australia branch had a statewide conference April 15th and 16th in which I took part of as a presenter. The conference took place over two days during school holidays, and was very well attended by teachers of Health and Physical Education, student teachers, and other professionals in the field.
My workshop, entitled "Making Health Food Fun! Creating exciting and educational food experiences for young children in the classroom" focused on ways to bring food, cooking, and growing into the primary classroom, and how we can help students build and grow relationships with healthy food and eating.
Creating exposure to, and providing the opportunity to enjoy healthy foods for young children is an area I'm extremely passionate about, and that I value in my own work with students. Having the chance to share my knowledge with others, and have great conversations with educators about their practices and challenges is something I am extremely grateful for. I thank you ACHPER for all the work that they do, and look forward to next years conference.
